WWE CEO and Chairman, Vince McMahon makes his way down to the ring on crutches, to open tonight's show. He says he likes to do things big – always has – and there's no bigger way to open tonight's show than with a fight. Paul Heyman interrupts the boss, and says he's waited his entire life for this fight. There's an off-hand remark about Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys; they're in Dallas tonight.

Heyman cuts himself off in the middle of a rant, and tackles Vince McMahon to the ground. He takes one of the crutches, but Vince catches it and uses it to low blow Paul-E. McMahon starts swinging away at Heyman, but Brock Lesnar hits the ring to stop the fight. Before Lesnar can do any damage, Triple H's music hits and Vince bails from the ring. Michael Cole goes bananas as Bobby Roode The Game makes his return to the WWE, with all his hair cut off.

Lesnar meets Triple H on the entrance ramp and the two brawl around ringside. Brock gets thrown off the steel ringpost, and is busted open. Triple H clotheslines him over the barricade and grabs a crutch from the ring, but Lesnar leaps over the barricade and the two start to brawl again. Lesnar – who has blood poring everywhere – picks up Hunter in a fireman's carry and drops him right onto the announce table. Triple H gets dumped back in the ring as Lesnar grabs a steel chair, but the Game counters with a huge spinebuster. He cracks the steel chair across Brock's back, who rolls to the outside and walks up the entrance ramp. The camera is intentionally filming him from his "clean" side, as blood is now pouring down his chest.
